This happened repeatedly last night.
I have 2 big cards UTG or in the blinds; raise and get 1 passive caller.
I miss the flop, I have one or two overcards, but no other draws.
So, I've got up to 6 outs if behind, but I think I'm in the lead about half the time (??). When I add the chance that he might fold bottom pair, I assume I must bet the flop.
I bet, he calls. But he always does - he could have the flimsiest of draws; or trips - and I've got a high card.
I am confident that he will fold to a turn bet without at least a pair, but this line costs me 1.5BB from the flop each time to find out.
When out of position, what's your line against passive players who will flop call with anything down to a gutshot? Repeatedly check folding the turn unimproved seems too weak - but is it correct?
